High-Performance Construction Dumpsters for Every Need
JCB Dumpsters are compact, high-tip tracked machines designed to move materials quickly, safely and efficiently across any site. Whether you work in construction, housebuilding, landscaping, agriculture or rental, the HTD-5 Diesel and HTD-5E Electric Dumpsters deliver reliable performance in the tightest and most demanding environments.
Both machines offer a maximum carrying capacity of 500 kg, a machine width of just 706 mm, and a 1.45 m load-over height, making them ideal for loading directly into skips, trailers and high-sided vehicles.
Their compact size allows access through standard doorways and garden gates, while their tracked undercarriage provides exceptional traction on mud, wet ground and uneven terrain. With diesel and fully electric models available, operators can choose the perfect Dumpster for indoor work, emission-sensitive environments or heavy outdoor use.
The Benefits of JCB Dumpsters
JCB Dumpsters are engineered with productivity, operator safety and day-to-day efficiency in mind. Across both models, key benefits include:
- High-tip design for easy emptying into skips or high-sided vehicles, with a tip height of 1.45 m.
- Large 500 kg load capacity, perfect for shifting soil, rubble, aggregate and landscaping materials.
- Ultra-compact 706 mm machine width, designed to fit through standard domestic doorways and access gates.
- Improved on-site safety thanks to the optional SmartStep platform, which cuts power to the tracks when the operator steps off while still allowing hydraulic function.
- Two-speed tracking for precision at low speeds and quicker manoeuvring across site
- Strong tracked undercarriage providing excellent traction and stability on soft or uneven surfaces.
The HTD-5E Electric model also delivers zero emissions, low noise and the ability to work safely indoors or in urban areas, while matching the performance of the diesel version with no compromise.
JCB HTD-5 Diesel Dumpster
The JCB HTD-5 is a compact, ride-on tracked Dumpster designed to save time and labour on busy building sites. Its small footprint and easy controls make it ideal for contractors, housebuilders, landscapers and rental fleets.
Key Features
- 500 kg maximum carrying capacity
- 706 mm machine width for access through doorways and gates
- 1.45 m high-tip function, ideal for loading skips and vehicles
- Optimised track motors for improved tracking power and precise control
- SmartStep platform for improved safety and productivity
- Removable isolator key for enhanced security and theft prevention
- 4.5 kW Kohler diesel engine with 4 kph tracking speed
The HTD-5’s compact turning circle, strong traction and robust build make it a versatile choice for any material-moving task on site.
JCB HTD-5E Electric Dumpster
The HTD-5E is the industry’s first high-volume, fully electric Dumpster, delivering zero emissions with no compromise on performance. It is ideal for indoor use, low-emission zones and noise-sensitive environments.
Key Features
- 500 kg load capacity matching the diesel model
- 706 mm width for easy access through buildings and tight spaces
- Zero exhaust emissions for indoor and enclosed-space operation
- Low-noise operation:14 dB quieter at the operator station than the diesel model
- Lithium-ion battery system providing 3 to 4 hours of typical use, extendable to a full shift with top-up charging
- Fast charging: 73 minutes from 20 to 80% with multiple cable options (110v, 240v and domestic plug)
- SmartStep safety feature and dual walk-behind or ride-on operation
The HTD-5E provides a clean, quiet and efficient alternative for modern construction sites without sacrificing performance or load capacity.
What is the difference between the JCB HTD 5 Diesel and the HTD 5E Electric Dumpster?
The main difference is the power source.
- The HTD 5 Diesel runs on a small diesel engine and delivers strong all-day performance with quick refuelling.
- The HTD 5E Electric is fully electric and produces zero exhaust emissions, making it ideal for indoor work or low-emission zones.
Both offer similar load capacities and compact dimensions, but the electric version provides quieter operation and lower running costs.
How long does the JCB HTD 5E Electric Dumpster take to charge?
The JCB HTD 5E typically takes around 2 hours to reach a full charge when using an optional fast charger. Standard charging will take longer, depending on the supply available. A full charge provides enough runtime for a full shift in most applications. If you need exact figures for your site setup, Scot JCB can advise.
What key safety features do JCB Dumpsters include?
JCB Dumpsters are designed with several important safety features, including:
- A safety stop bar and emergency cut-out
- High grip tracks for stable travel
- A stand on platform that provides safe operator positioning
- Good visibility and intuitive controls
- Low centre of gravity for increased stability
- Tie-down points for secure transportation
These features help keep operators safe during daily use on construction, landscaping and demolition sites.
What types of material handling tasks are JCB Dumpsters best suited for?
JCB Dumpsters are ideal for transporting and tipping materials in tight or restricted areas. They are commonly used for:
- Moving soil, sand, gravel and aggregates
- Handling demolition debris
- Garden and landscaping waste
- Transporting building materials on small or busy sites
- Indoor strip out projects where space is limited
Their compact size and tracked stability make them extremely useful on sites where larger machines cannot operate.
